This is a blog I never thought I’d ever write. Truth be told, the story I’m about to share nearly escaped my memory. Sometimes, I think that’s a healthy thing. I’ll lead with a little disclaimer here. I think there are many cases of sexual assault, abuse, etc., that are far ‘worse’ than what I […]
“We should be thankful every day of the year, and have one day to complain” – Pastor Sam Farina For a while, I debated on writing out a list of my complaints for the year. Yet, I struggled to find anything that I can complain about, which is something to be extremely thankful for. Earlier […]
Last night, I was doing something I wasn’t supposed to be doing and paid a heavy price for my actions. After an unusually long work day, which kicked off 30 minutes after I dropped off Atlas, I looked down at the clock and realizied the entire day had gone by with barely an hour of […]

Therapy comes in a lot of different shapes and sizes. My friend, Michael Jackson, once told me ‘you’ll never see a motorcycle in a therapist’s parking lot’. The more I travel down the road as a human being, the more I see the truth in his statement. It’s a bittersweet thing that I no longer […]
A lot of great stories begin with a full gas tank; whether that be in a car or a motorcycle, there’s something I love about the feeling of a full tank of gas – as well as knowing I’m able to fill the tank all the way up without looking at the price tag with […]
There are a lot of events in my life, as well as people, that have played a pivotal role in reshaping my character, grit and spirit. No event in my life has had more of an impact than becoming a Dad. If you’ve ever ridden a unicycle, you’ll know how easy it is to turn […]
